Recycle Your Car this Earth Day

Eco-friendly Kidney Cars Program Saves Lives

NEW YORK--April
22, 2013: The old car sitting in your
driveway can breathe new life into the environment, your pocketbook and
those suffering from kidney disease. This Earth
Day, donate the car to Kidney Cars and become eligible for a tax
deduction while helping the National Kidney Foundation get more mileage out
of its education and prevention programs.

As millions do their part to ensure a more sustainable future, the
National Kidney Foundation reminds Americans that donating a used vehicle
is a simple way to recycle and reuse this Earth
Day. All donated vehicles are either sold at auction or for
parts.

A pioneering vehicle donation program that is celebrating its 30th
anniversary this year, Kidney Cars has accepted more than 650,000 used
vehicles that have pumped a total of $600
million into life-saving programs over the last three decades.
During the course of one year, Kidney Cars recycles 15,000 cars, 60,000
tires and 30,000,000 million poundsÂ of steel.

The process is simple. Donations can be made by calling 1-800-488-CARS
(2277) or visiting kidneycars.org. The National Kidney Foundation will pick
up used cars, trucks, motorcycles or boats-- in almost any condition-- free
of charge.

"Let your used vehicle join the thousands of others that have gone green
for a good cause. A sputtering vehicle may actually revive the health of
thousands suffering from kidney disease while helping save the planet at
the same time," said Bruce Skyer, National
Kidney Foundation CEO.
